The tandem of Tommy Banks and Roy "Chopper" Hartle put a lot of opposition wingers off the field and on to the cinder track around Burnden. Tango will tell you. With them, you paid for your opportunities.

Well, yes, but

The Todd team that went up with millions of points and goals...

Of its time that was a hard set of bastards and I'm not sure that Taggart would've won

Word was Fairclough was top boy with Sheridan not far behind

Chuck Taggart, Pollock and the nowty McGnlay and Thompson in the mix and its no wonder we won every week!

Andy Todd was a bit of a handful aswell if I recall.

Does anyone remember when Andy Todd cleaned out Stan Collymore when we played Villa at the Bok?

Was a cracking punch IIRC

Kicking the sh*t out of Wolves twice in that 3-0 win was awesome.

Pollock's arrival on the pitch in his debut - as a sub in (I think, League Cup game) against Wimbledon, and his first act is to kick - gloriously - Vinnie Jones, who sits in the mud, puzzled, looks up, sees this kid and laughs - in a kind of 'welcome to the club' way.

I await correction of this memory - but please don't spoil it totally. :wink:

Con Boustantis (spelling?) that Aussie who committed armed robbery prior to signing for us. I think he sat on the bench once before being sent back to Aus.

The game where Keith Curle scored our Goal Of The Season.

That was easily the best, most abiding memory of that season - easily my favourite as a Bolton fan. And believe me, there were lots of contenders in that season. That day just transcended hate between two clubs - there was such a cauldron of tension going into that match, you just knew that it was going to explode very quickly. All started by McGinlay waving to their fans in the warm-up, all ended by us cementing our place at the top of the league.

He plays for Essendon United now who I played against last year. His team is my division.

Pah. Chinning opponents is for girls. I was at Deepdale when Chic Charnley stuck one on Julian Darby. 8)

And Tommy Banks was followed by Syd Farrimond.

Who was not as good a full-back, but just as good at kicking wingers over the edge.

Maybe better?

The 3 foot drop from pitch to track would probably not be allowed these days by the health & safety gestapo.

I was going to mention Charnley as he was a headcase but I dont remember this incident. Didn't Neal tell him to sod off after he got a little erm over enthusiastic in training?
